New .284 build, first time trying a candy finish

[delucy]

So this is my new .284 build, it is a Pierce FTR action and Bartlein 30 inch straight barrel. The stock is from Alex Wheeler. This is my first try at finishing with a candy, I used a white/silver marblizer, several coats of Kandy Wild Cherry, and a few coats of Burgundy Kandy Koncentrate. I finished it off with 4 coats of Urethane clear. Super happy with the results, I hope it shoots as good as I think it looks.

Looks great. Candy is hard to shoot, good choice on marble under makes for good look.

Nice!

My other hobby is hot rods and I've merged that hobby with paint and flames into my rifles. Best thing I have ever done. Congrats, you will have fun with that!

Love the marbling under.It's got a smoke flame look that comes alive when viewing in natural light I'll bet.

Agree with above,a green would be pretty too.

As requested, a look at the other side, and a closeup view.
